Atropates ruled ower the region o Atropatene (present-day Iranian Azerbaijan).

The Greek name is mentioned bi Diodorus Siculus an Strabo, an it is continued as ādurbādagān in the Middle Persian geographical text Shahrestānihā i Erānshahr.[11] The wird is translatable as baith "the treasury" an "the treasurer" o fire in Modren Persian.
